The Fisher 1098-EGR (and 1098H-EGR variant) serves as a pilot-operated pressure reducing regulator, delivering economical yet highly accurate downstream pressure management. Its design uses a two-path control system where the pilot amplifies small changes for fast, stable response. This makes it a solid pick for setups needing consistent performance across varying conditions.
Body Sizes: NPS 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 x 6, 12 x 6 / DN 25, 50, 80, 100, 150, 200 x 150, 300 x 150. End Connections: NPT, CL150 RF, CL300 RF, CL600 RF, CL125FF, CL250RF, BWE, SWE, or PN 16/24/40. Maximum Inlet Pressure: 400 psig / 28 bar or body rating limit, whichever is lower. Temperature Capabilities:
Well-suited for natural gas distribution networks, fuel gas lines feeding industrial boilers, furnaces, ovens, and mixers, plus larger commercial or industrial sites like shopping centers and schools. It also works in plant air service and certain liquid applications.
Q: How low can the differential pressure go? A: It controls accurately at differentials as low as 1 psid / 70 mbar d.
Q: Does it bleed gas to the atmosphere? A: No—the pilot-operated setup directs all bleed back to the downstream side.
Q: Is maintenance straightforward? A: Yes, top-entry access lets you handle trim without removing the regulator from the pipeline.
Q: What about noise in high-flow setups? A: The optional Whisper Trim cage can reduce noise levels by up to 30 dBa.
Q: Can it handle dead-end systems? A: Absolutely, with its tight shutoff design for positive closure.
Consider the Fisher 299H series for other pressure reducing needs, or the Type 63EG for relief/backpressure functions in similar systems.
